"Disperse! Disperse!"

"No retreat! No retreat!"

bang bang bang-

Under the impact of the rhinoceros, the front line of the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Force fell into chaos. shooting.

However, the officer's order did not have much effect. They wanted to draw their guns and shoot at the rhino that was rushing towards them, while persuading the deserters who passed by. A company commander forcibly grabbed the soldiers who ran past him. , sternly yelled at the other party, asking the other party to turn around and fight, but at this moment, they suddenly heard a long elephant cry, the officer subconsciously turned his head to look, the next second he only felt his whole body being rolled up by the long elephant trunk, and then He fell heavily on the ground, dizzy and stomach upset, the elephant trunk did not let go at this time, and continued to throw him high, fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, and passed out.

The soldier was not spared either. He was stunned to see the officer being rolled up by the elephant's trunk, and it took him a long time to react. Just as he was about to turn around and run away, the wide elephant's paw fell from the sky and trampled his whole body under his feet, turning him into a puddle. Meat puree.

bang bang bang-

After the first line collapsed, the soldiers on the second line went up immediately. They aimed their guns at the rhinos rushing out of the crowd as much as possible, or raised their guns to shoot at those huge war elephants. The hard-skinned rhinos and war elephants couldn't bear it. They were beaten to a bloody mess, and they neighed miserably and fell to the ground on the spot.

And at this moment, those black-bodied indigenous army held up various weapons and rushed over behind the herd of beasts. They braved the bombardment of artillery and uttered incomprehensible battle roars like monkeys.Cannonballs roared and fell into the dense crowd, like stones falling into a black flood, only splashing a tiny splash.

The cannonballs easily smashed a bloody road in the dense crowd. All the indigenous soldiers blocking the trajectory of the cannonballs were smashed to pieces. Even if they just passed by, a large piece of flesh and blood would be taken away. It's full of black mixed with red.

The artillery of the expeditionary army is like thunder to the native soldiers. After the deafening sound of the cannon, there will be riots in the huge army formation. Seeing this, the noble warriors in the middle angrily beat the Burakumin soldiers who were kneeling on the ground and ordered them to continue charging forward. Fearing the high class people, the Burakumin soldiers reluctantly got up.

And at the same time.On the front line of the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Force, the soldiers initially broke away from the chaos, and they began to use loose formations to fight against the beasts that had not been shot.Some people cooperated with the comrades in the second line to re-arrange to defend against the approaching tribal coalition forces.

Seeing the restoration of order on the front line, Trond, who was on the central artillery position, breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately dispatched troops to let the second-line soldiers go up to make up for the fragmented first front line.To be honest, when the herd of ferocious beasts rushed into the front line and wreaked havoc just now, he was so desperate that he even had the idea of ​​retreating, but he couldn't move the artillery quickly, so he had to give up this idea.

bang bang bang-

There was another series of volleys, and the surrounding gunshots frightened the war elephants trapped in the crowd. While tearing up the long beast cry, they rampaged violently, piercing the unlucky soldier's body with their sharp ivory, Or people stand up and step down heavily, leaving a ground of fleshy mud.

woo-

"Shoot! Shoot!"

While calling his subordinates to shoot, an officer raised his flintlock pistol, aimed at the rider riding on the frenzied war elephant, and pulled the trigger, only to see the flames in front of the muzzle of the gun, and the rider was shot dead. The war elephant, which had lost the control of its rider, exploded even more. With a sweep of its trunk, several soldiers around it were swept out, and they fell heavily to the ground. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers behind the war elephant gritted their teeth and stood up. The bayonet stabbed hard into the backyard of the war elephant.

puff!
There was a muffled sound, and the bayonet penetrated the fragile back yard. The war elephant's anus was suddenly covered with blood. The heartbreaking pain made the war elephant stand up like a madman, knocking the mahout on his back away, and the hind legs supporting him He became weak again and lost his balance. He sat back and then fell to the side.

After falling to the ground, the war elephant had lost all its strength, lying quietly on the ground, and could only utter a weak cry. The soldiers around, regardless of its weakness, roared angrily and thrust their bayonets into the weak spots of the war elephant. Take the life of the war elephant.

……

Hu-hu-hu-

On the other side, the indigenous army with the skin color diametrically opposite to that of the soldiers of the expeditionary army uttered a thunderous battle cry, brandishing their weapons and rushing towards the soldiers of the expeditionary army who were waiting in full battle.The officer standing in the front row gritted his teeth, raised his flintlock pistol, aimed at the opposite flag bearer holding the tribal totem, and pulled the trigger.

boom!
As if a certain switch had been turned on, the moment the flintlock pistol sounded, the entire front line was filled with gunfire. The half-kneeling soldiers in the first row and the soldiers in the second row pulled the trigger together, the smoke from the gunpowder burning and the The projectiles sprayed out from the muzzle together, also carrying dazzling sparks. Thousands of projectiles formed a dense metal barrage and flew into the charging tribal army, shooting the soldiers in the front row over a large area like cutting rice.

For a moment, screams and groans resounded in the coalition army formation, and when the gunpowder smoke covering the expeditionary army formation was blown away by the wind, the soldiers of the expeditionary army saw corpses on the opposite side. Injured and killed in round salvo.

"This is sorcery!"

"Escape! Escape!"

How did the tribesmen have seen such a simple and neat method of killing, and they have never seen such a terrifying weapon. The fear from their hearts has overcome their fighting spirit, and they don't know who is leading the way. The poorly equipped indigenous soldiers are chaotic collapsed.

The soldiers in front were defeated, and the soldiers in the back were at a loss, and they were also led by the defeated soldiers to retreat together, causing the entire line to be defeated for a while.Seeing this, Trond immediately ordered the soldiers to pursue. The front-line soldiers immediately cheered and raised their rifles, and stepped forward in pursuit. While chasing, they fired at the same time, hoping to expand the chaos and also kill and retreat. native soldiers.

The defeat across the board made all the chiefs furious. They wanted to order the beheading of the fleeing soldiers to save the defeat and counterattack, but they were stopped by Ajit, Governor of Begowo. Ajit said with a serious face, "Romans The weapons of the expeditionary army are sharp, and they cannot be defeated by relying on herds of beasts, and now our army's morale has plummeted, it is better to retreat first to reduce casualties."

"..."

The chiefs were speechless, persuaded by him, and could only order the withdrawal of troops.
